How to Make Homemade Fresh Fruit Soda (video)

David Yudkin, of Hot Lips Soda, demonstrates how to make seasonal fresh fruit soda, using only watermelon and fresh berries. Having developed a small family pizza chain into a successful enterprise, Yudkin decided to apply his artisan formula of sourcing local, seasonally fresh ingredients, in a similar manner toward the making of fresh fruit varieties of commercial sodas. The recipe for Berry Soda from the video is below.
